Deputies' Bulletin
The Deputies' Bulletin is an initiative of the Civic Space Foundation, which monitors the performance and the degree of transparency of Panamanian deputies during their term in office. It is a platform in which each deputy is assigned a score, which is based on the sub-scores assigned to him or her in a series of indicators. The dimensions that the bulletin takes into account are: attendance to the plenary and attendance to commissions, budgetary ethics in the handling of payroll and travel, declaration of interests and declaration of assets, concentration of donations received in campaign and legislative management. The methodology for the assignment of scores is available in the bulletin's website, and the bulletin is updated on a regular basis.
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
